Restaurant · Southend-on-Sea
With a kids' menu, high chairs and gluten-free options all confirmed, this is one of those places you can walk into with a toddler and a fussy older child without doing much homework first. It's lively rather than hushed, which is a relief when your two-year-old decides to narrate lunch at volume. Booking ahead is recommended, so a quick call or online reservation saves you standing in the doorway with a pushchair. Mid-range prices, and it holds a 4.5 rating from over 500 people in Southend-on-Sea.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
